They say it was because the Edo rulers in the 17th century felt threatened by the missionaries. But I had a dream about how it really started. It started with a phone call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">Hello, you\u2019ve reached the Department of Weather Control, Angel Joe here. How may I help you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\">Yo Angel Joe! Angel Harry here from the Department of Prayer Requests. Listen, we\u2019ve got 10,375,234 requests for a white Christmas. Do you think you can deliver by the 24th?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">Yeah sure, the northern countries should be running on auto-weather control anyway so that shouldn&#8217;t be a problem. BTW, we sent a thousand pounds of flurries the other day, did you see that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\">Sure did. Nice job. The flurries were exceptionally soft. Lots of people had their tongues out. Lots of selfies taken. Their faith in God is off the charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\">We might have an issue with some people in the equator. A few of the natives have been listening to too many Christmas winter wonderland tunes, and they got jealous and are now praying for snow in their 90 degree climate. They refuse to believe in God unless their demands are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">Blackmail, huh? Well let\u2019s see \u2026 I need to call Angel Bart at the Department of Miracles and see if he thinks it\u2019s time for a big one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color\">Angel Bart here. Is this you Angel Joe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">Yup! Those Filipinos are at it again. They want snow and mistletoe in Manila. Are they due for a miracle yet? It\u2019s been an ongoing request for several years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color\">Lesse now \u2026 hold on \u2026 my computer\u2019s running slow again \u2026 too many reindeer interfering with the signal. OK, here we go \u2026 the last snow miracle happened in 1506 AD. And the next one is due on 1721. I guess they\u2019ve got to wait a bit longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">I just realized, there aren\u2019t any requests for snow in the Middle East. No one&#8217;s dreaming of a white Christmas over there. Bing Crosby never made it to the <em>Arab Top 40s<\/em>. They never believed in Christmas anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color\">Wait! Didn\u2019t Christmas start there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">Yeah, but they rejected it \u2026 rejected the whole nativity story. It&#8217;s their loss. The stone the builders rejected was the cornerstone and \u2026 hold on &#8212; I\u2019m getting another call from Angel Harry from the Prayer Team \u2026 <br><br>&#8230; what\u2019s that? Emperor Tokugawa from Japan wants gentle <em>snow flurries<\/em>? Japan is in the middle of a blizzard right now. Are you asking for a miracle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\">Angel Joe, Emperor Tokugawa is at the verge of becoming a believer. His Christian missionary friend, Padre Dominico De Las Angeles the Third, has been sharing the gospel to him for years and the padre says if we can turn that angry blizzard into a gentle flurry, it\u2019ll surely convince Tokugawa that God is real. Christianity will flourish like the rising sun when everybody starts singing <em>Feliz Navidad!<\/em> You just gotta do this man!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">Okay. Okay. I\u2019m on it. Hello, Angel Bart, do I have a green light to send Tokugawa a miracle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color\">Go ahead. You\u2019ve got my blessings! (wink! wink!) This will be a game-changer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">Okay. <em>Operation Gentle Flurry <\/em>is on! Weather Machine &#8212; on! <br>Setting\u2019s on full blast! <br>Three, two \u2026 one, let \u2018er rip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size\">Rrrrrrumble! Rrrrrrumble! Brrrrraughhhhh!!! SPLASHHHH!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Look out Joe! Abort! Abort! You hit the wrong switch! Instead of <em>Gentle Flurry<\/em>, you hit <em>TSUNAMI!!!!!!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s why Japan has one of the fewest Christian Churches in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The End.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you believe my story, expect a gentleman wearing tight red leotards delivering my present to you via Reindeer Express. Watch out! He may ask you a few questions about being naughty. Be nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TGIF people and Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raoul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JOKE OF THE WEEK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Tom of Pasadena, CA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"1412\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TenThingsXMAS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TenThingsXMAS.jpg 360w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TenThingsXMAS-261x1024.jpg 261w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Original art by Raoul Pascual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PARTING SHOTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Garie of Paranaque, Philippines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Garie-Text.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Garie-Text.jpg 360w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Garie-Text-290x300.jpg 290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Art of Sierra Madre.
